Deserves at least six stars, if not more. We ended up here four times in our first five days; and would definitely have kept coming back if we’d stayed longer in the area. Our first time there, Antigoni curated a cheese-and-wine tasting for us, letting us sample first and choose our favorites; the final platter (with local fruit, chutney, pistachios, sesame crackers, and other thoughtful touches) felt crafted with real love for quality. We returned for breakfast the next day: a silky Basque cheesecake (made by her son, trained in the Basque Country), a fantastic tiramisu, and superb cappuccinos. The following day we tried the pastrami sandwich: so good that we came back again just for that two days later.
Beyond the food, the staff is super friendly, and Antigoni herself is a gem: warm, extremely nice, and incredibly knowledgeable about Samos. She shared insider tips and helped us out in planning our stay in a way that genuinely made our holiday so much better. This isn’t a deli: it’s an experience for people who truly love food. We’ll be talking about this place for a long time, and return whenever we come...
